A certified switchboard keeps your family and assets safe from fires and faults. It reduces your maintenance, the replacement costs of affected appliances and improves the lifespan of your electrical equipment.

Switchboard upgrades for businesses

For businesses, a switchboard upgrade means you’re compliant with current regulations and maintaining a safe environment for your employees, customers, stock and assets.

For modern business switchboards, we can also add RCD safety switches for a safer working place.

Is your home built before 1992?

It is worth having your switchboard inspected if your home has been built before 1992.

Our experience has shown that in earlier homes the old fuses and circuit breakers may not even blow or trip under fault conditions due to their age and lack of service history.

Switchboard technology has changed a lot

Old fuses are designed to blow when the current increases, instead they can burn which can sometimes cause a fire. The introduction of modern circuit breakers and RCDs, protect humans better by disconnecting the power when there is an increase or imbalance in the circuit.
